Eagle Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Hey, Guys - Still alive. My wife aqnd I are stranded in Chile. For those who don't know, we came down here to finalize the adoption of my wife's granddaughter. The court hearing was November 18th and the adoption was approved ... but in the month since then Chile hasn't managed to produce the documents they have to send to the U.S. Consulate so we can get a visa to bring the kid home. We already missed our original flight date on December 12th, and now we have our fingers crossed we *MIGHT* be able to get out of here by mid-January. Not that Chile is a bad place. The weather is warm (after all, it is summer here), Santiago is a major metropolis, and my wife gets more time with her family. But ... I need to get home so I can get back to looking for work. I hope all your MJs are running well. Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate same, and I'll be looking forward to getting home and getting back to active status on the forum.

maddzz1 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Congrats on getting the adoption finalized. Have you come across any MJs down there that have the original hidden winch bumper? I thought I remembered you saying you had seen some down there in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Have you come across any MJs down there that have the original hidden winch bumper? I thought I remembered you saying you had seen some down there in the past Not MJs, XJs. The last time I was here was five years ago, and on that trip I saw a lot of older (pre-97) XJs, but only a very few MJs. My amigo, Mike from Chile (whom I met through NAXJA), explained that putting a winch on the front turns a pickup or SUV into a "work" vehicle and qualifies for some sort of cheaper registration. As a result, nearly every Cherokee I saw when I was here before had the hidden winch option. I've been here five weeks this trip, and I've seen exactly one old-style Cherokee and two 97+ models. They were all spotted from the rear so I couldn't check out the winch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
